Cactus V6II does not work with the new firmware 2.00 X-Pro2

I updated my X-Pro2 with the new firmware 2.00. It works very fine and the autofocus is so good in any situation. Now, the Cactus V6II does not work with the X-Pro2. Do i need a beta firmware or something else?

for more details, you have to send an email to an account and they send to you the beta update and the process. The cactus people sent me the firmware and now I´m using the x-pro2 with firmware 2.0 and HSS.

It doen't help. Updated the beta firmware again, and learned the HSS, result the same=flash fires but at the wrong time. It says that learning completed, seems like everything is fine.

I think that I'm doing this right, because I've used a cactus before and like I said no problem with the latest official firmware with X-Pro1. Now both of my X-Pro's doesn't fire flash with beta firmware at the right time.

My flash is Godox V860c, the is a profile pre-installed witch I choose.

Could it be my flash or the fact that I use only one unit so the flash is on top of my camera or connected with Canon OC-E3 cable? Others seems to use beta firmware with two units that I see on youtube.

edit.

I tried three times this:

Updated to beta->learned HSS->flash timing issue

Downgraded to official->leaned HSS->flash fires correctly

Official FW 100% success every time, so there must be something wrong with the beta firmware.

Yes!... you need at least two (2) V6 II transceivers to work, one transmitter and one or more receiver(s).

We never tested your TTL cable + 1 V6 II unit setup as this was not the proper method of triggering off-camera flash, let alone with HSS support.

Thanks!

To help us better help you, always state the exact firmware version installed on your Cactus device(s), such as: "1.1.013", "FUJ.1.002", "NIK.A.001", "v.103".

But it works like this with the latest official FW using X-Pro1. And I like this method

Is there any possibility, you could check this out and make it work with this new FW? Or am I then only one using this method

edit.

I'm just thinking, why there is a hot shoe on top of Cactus if it was not ment to be used?

Just to make sure the result is same using this cable or putting flash directly on top of the Cactus. (works with official FW, not with beta FW). So there is something wrong timing with beta FW using Cactus's own hot shoe.

I have a X-T10 and a X-Pro2 and I'm using a Canon 430 EX. With the official firmware my XT10 worked perfect on HSS to 1/4000 s and X-Pro2 anything to 1/250 (no HSS). With the beta firmware XT10 is not working anymore on HSS and the X-Pro2 is showing inconstancy. And yes, I removed the hotshoe spring on both cameras

The flash only sync some of the time. Sometimes the flash fire with a delay of aprox 1sec. If I turn off and on the V6 II (both Tx and Rx) and re "learn" it's ok for a while than the story start over.

I have forwarded your findings to R&D.

I can use HSS on X-T10 without problems on the official firmware (104). For the X-Pro2 I'm waiting for the next official release. Hope it will work.

We released the 1.1.005 this morning, with release notes to follow later, it is very similar to the beta 1.0.109. So for now I'd stay stick to 1.1.004 for your X-T10 and 1.1.005 for your X-Pro2 until we find out more what's wrong with the X-T10. Thanks for your patience during this time.

The issue I am having is in conjunction with the Fuji Xpro 2 and Nikon SB910 speed light.

I have completed updates on camera and V6 IIs as well as resetting them.

I have to use camera flash setup to: others (and not Fuji auto set up) otherwise the flash will not fire.

The main issue I have is when the v6 iis in NON HSS and using the camera flash synch speed of 250 I get a banding in the image as though I am firing the flash above its maximum synch speed.

I have also tried this with hotshot plate removed as well and the problem is still there, the only work around I can find is if I use a synch speed of 200 by rotating the front dial on the Xpro 2 however this is not utilising the maximum flash speed of the camera.
